History
After attempts to host a Cup Series race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve failed,[2] NASCAR worked with Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez officials to host a Cup Series race in Mexico. On August 27, 2024, it was officially announced to be held on June 15, 2025, becoming the first points paying Cup Series race to be held outside the United States since 1958.[3] Shane van Gisbergen was the winner of the inaugural event.
